Quick!  Tell me how I can get my sons into Potomac!!  My sons so don't want to go to one of those sports powerhouses and get stuck in classes with dim bulbs who are only there because they can throw/kick/catch/hit a ball (which by the way my sons can do, too).  It changes the whole classroom dynamic.  I'm all for scholar-athletes, or scholar-artists, or whatever talent kids have, but why on earth do you want the schools to lower their standards to improve their sports teams?  Is that really what you're advocating? That just makes the educational experience worse for everyone else.  If Potomac really puts academics first, as you say, and keeps the extracurriculars "extra," tell us how to sign up, please!  [/quote]

Another parent who can't fathom that a school can possibly have both great academics and great athletics.  Do you really think think that they can't coexist?  That's the whole point, you don't have to lower standards on either one.
